Expansive CEO

If you've been “doing everything right” with your money… saving, budgeting, staying disciplined… and it still feels stressful, heavy, or misaligned, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, we break down why traditional financial discipline often fails and what actually creates peace, alignment, and sustainable prosperity.

We go deeper into the Gene Keys Pearl Sphere—the pathway to true prosperity—and why so many entrepreneurs are trying to skip the process by chasing results instead of alignment.

From entrepreneurs forcing themselves into systems that don't fit… to over-saving, under-living, and operating from outdated money...

What if your business struggles aren't about strategy… but regulation?

In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, we break down the difference between a dysregulated entrepreneur and a regulated entrepreneur—and why this shift is the key to sustainable success.

We also dive into the massive energetic transition coming in 2027 and what it means for business owners, leadership, and how we relate to money, systems, and authority.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or like you're doing all the things but still not seeing consistent results… this episode will change how you see yo...

Are you telling yourself you should have your finances “figured out” before asking for help?

In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah Chapman and Lauren Ammon break down the 3 biggest misconceptions that keep entrepreneurs stuck, overwhelmed, and delaying the support they actually need.

If you've ever thought:
• “I should be able to do this myself”
• “It's too messy to let anyone see”
• “I don't even know where to start”

This episode is for you.

We dive into the emotional, energetic, and practical realities of money, business owners...

What if business growth wasn't about doing more… but about becoming more aligned?

In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, we dive into the final phase of our core framework: Expansion—and why most entrepreneurs unknowingly hold themselves back from it.

If you've ever felt like:

You're growing… but something feels off

You hit a new level, then everything breaks

You want more—but you're also scared of it

This conversation is for you.

We break down how true expansion happens after discovery and alignmen...

What if the problem in your business isn't your strategy—but your alignment?

In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah Chapman and Lauren Ammon break down the Alignment phase of the Regenerative Wealth framework—and why it's the key to sustainable success, clarity, and growth.

After uncovering your patterns in Discovery, Alignment is where everything starts to shift.

Inside this episode, we explore:

How to align your time, money, and energy with what actually works for you

Why your energy—not your effort—is your most valuable resource...

Most entrepreneurs don't fail because they lack strategy. They struggle because they avoid the one step that changes everything: Discovery.

In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah Chapman and Lauren Ammon dive deep into the real work of building a sustainable, aligned, and profitable business.

This isn't about hustle or about “just think positive.”

This is about:
✔ Facing your current financial reality
✔ Understanding your relationship with money
✔ Releasing shame, avoidance, and emotional weight
✔ Creating clarity so you can actually grow

Because the truth is…

You can't a...

What if your biggest money problem… isn't strategy — it's your relationship with money?

In this episode of the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah Chapman and Lauren Ammon break down what it really means to build a business that supports your life — not drains it.

From Human Design and Gene Keys to financial systems and money story healing, this conversation bridges the gap between energy and execution in a way most entrepreneurs have never experienced.

You'll learn:

Why most entrepreneurs are financially dysregulated (and don't realize it)

How your Human Design impact...

What happens when you're doing the inner work… but the world around you isn't? In this episode, Hannah and Lauren explore the very real tension between personal growth and real life: building a business, making money, leading people, and navigating relationships in a world where most people are still operating unconsciously.

This conversation dives into the gap between understanding your Human Design and actually living it. Because in theory, every type has a beautiful role to play. But in practice? You still have to work with imperfect people, process projection, and learn how to stay true to yo...

When the world feels heavy, it can be hard to know what's actually yours to carry. In this episode, Hannah and Lauren explore what it means to move through collective heaviness, personal emotions, and real-life stress without abandoning yourself in the process.

This conversation brings Human Design into the very human experience of grief, overwhelm, uncertainty, and emotional processing. If you've been feeling the weight of everything lately, this episode offers language, perspective, and practical ways to move through it.

Why heavy seasons make self-leadership more important than ever

You can force your way to impressive results—and still feel depleted, resentful, or stuck. In this episode, Hannah Chapman and Lauren Ammon unpack why the traditional “grind harder” model fails so many high performers: it confuses who you are with what you achieve, and it treats leadership, systems, and money like separate problems instead of one connected ecosystem.

They introduce Expansive CEO's three pillars—Leadership, Systems, and Money—through a grounded definition of prosperity that goes beyond income: time, money, and energy in overflow.

You'll learn:

Why leadership, systems, and money can't be treated...

What if the reason some relationships feel energizing — and others feel draining — isn't “compatibility”… but mechanics? In this episode, Hannah and Lauren unpack how your design gets revealed through connection — and how your open centers can become either your biggest source of confusion… or your greatest leadership gift.

Why relationships reveal patterns you can't see on your own

How frustration signals misalignment with your natural rhythm

What changes when you make decisions the way you're designed to

How different working styles either create tension or deepen collaboration

When your body is commun...

Some relationships don't fall apart because there's no love — they fall apart because you keep trying to “fix” a feeling you can't name. If you've ever thought, “Why do I feel fine alone, but incomplete with someone… or like something is missing unless they show up a certain way?”…you're not too needy, too intense, or “bad at relationships.” You might be living out a Split Definition pattern — where your energy is designed with a natural gap, and your mind turns that gap into a story: it's me… or it's you.

In today's episode, we break down what Split Definition...

What if the real question in relationships isn't “Do I like you?” — but “Who do I become when I'm with you?” Inspired by Esther Perel's insight, this episode explores how Human Design + Gene Keys explain the energetic chemistry behind that feeling — and how to use it to create healthier, more honest connection.

This week on the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah Chapman, CFP® and Lauren Ammon break down why relationships often feel less about “compatibility” and more about who you become in someone else's presence. They translate this concept through the lens of aura mechanics, connection charts, and energetic dynamic...

What's it actually like to receive a live Human Design reading—one that lands in your body, not just your mind? In this special episode, we do our first live reading on the show with Stacey Davis, exploring emotional Manifestor leadership, clean initiation, and how to create impact without over-giving, over-holding, or burning out.

This week was a reminder that markets can experience meaningful movement even when the underlying fundamentals haven't changed. We saw volatility driven by rotation, rebalancing, and shifting investor expectations — not panic, and not systemic risk.

In this episode of Investment Friday, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, is joined by Brad Haines, CFA®, FRM®, CIO of Juncture Wealth Strategies, to break down what's actually happening beneath the headlines.

Together, they explore why markets are becoming more selective, how to interpret recent layoff announcements, what a new Fed chair nomination could mean for monetary policy, and why understanding tax-efficient strat...

In our final episode of January's “Crunchiness” series, we unpack why certain parts of Human Design and Gene Keys can feel like… “ugh, why is that me?”

In this episode, Hannah and Lauren dive into the 2/4 profile (Hermit/Opportunist). Why the 2-line hermit needs solitude, why the 4-line opportunist's best opportunities come through your network, and how that inner tension can show up in business and relationships.

Why parts of your design can feel “crunchy” at first

The difference between rejection vs. resonance

The 7-year deconditioning process

This week was a great reminder of how quickly markets can move on headlines alone—without anything fundamentally changing underneath. We saw volatility driven by political rhetoric, followed by an equally fast recovery once that noise settled back down.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, helps you understand why this kind of movement doesn't mean something is “wrong” with the economy or your plan.

Additionally, she walks you through one of the most important retirement questions there is: how much money do you actually need to retire—and where the 4% rule helps, and where it fa...

Some parts of Human Design and Gene Keys hit a nerve fast—especially when the language feels intense or “unflattering.” This month on the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah and Lauren are unpacking what's crunchy: the parts of your design that can trigger resistance, shame, or “Wait… why me?!”

In this episode, they pick up where last week left off and dive into one of the crunchiest profiles of all: the 3/5 (Martyr/Heretic). Together they reframe the meaning behind those loaded words, explain why 3/5s often feel like they're always “putting out fires,” and share how 3-line trial-and-error becomes wisdom w...

There's a lot of noise right now—and it can hijack investor decision-making. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM zoom out to separate signal from headlines, discuss early-year market context, and share what they're watching for 2026.

You'll hear why recency bias leads people to panic-sell, why earnings and innovation may matter more than day-to-day politics over a 5-year horizon, and why rebalancing at the start of the year can support both portfolio discipline and tax planning. Then, they break down a major story involving Jerome Powell and discuss why Federal Reserve independence is...

Some parts of Human Design and Gene Keys feel… crunchy. You read the original transmission, the channel descriptions, the line language—and something in you goes: “Ew. I don't want that. I'm not that.” And if you're not careful, that reaction can quietly turn into self-rejection… which blocks the very transformation you're here for.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP® and co-host Lauren Ammon talk about why “softening” or rewriting the system to make it more palatable can actually keep people stuck. Together, they explore how to hold uncomfortable language with maturity, use the shadow as soil, and let your ex...

This is the first episode of 2026, and it's also the beginning of a new chapter for the Expansive CEO Podcast. One where we stop forcing strategies that don't fit, stop borrowing advice from people with completely different energy, and start building businesses that actually work with who we are.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® officially welcomes Lauren Ammon as co-host of the Expansive CEO Podcast. Together, they share why the show is shifting fully int...

If you've ever felt successful on paper… but still disconnected from yourself — like you're “doing all the right things” while your heart is quietly asking for more — this episode is for you. Because the truth is: the level of intimacy you have with yourself shapes everything… your relationships, your leadership, your capacity to receive, and the way you show up in your business when things get hard.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® is joined by intimacy expert Allana Pratt, global media personality and author of six books, to explore what intimacy really means — not just with a partn...

If you're a business owner who feels like you should understand your numbers but secretly hopes they'll just… work themselves out, you're not alone. For a lot of entrepreneurs, money feels heavy, confusing, or even shame-filled—and that disconnect can quietly limit growth, peace of mind, and long-term stability.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® sits down with author, strategist, and fractional CFO Josh Greenbaum, founder of CFO Minded and author of Numbers Scare Me and Other Excuses.

If you felt like 2025 had “way too many headlines” for markets to be up… you're not imagining it. Between rate cuts, policy whiplash, and nonstop AI hot takes, it would've been easy to assume this was the year something finally cracked. And yet—stocks held up, bonds showed up, and a lot of long-term investors were rewarded for staying steady.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM, Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies break down what actually drove returns, why AI still looks like a boom (not necessarily a bubble—yet), and wha...

Visibility doesn't require louder marketing, better slides, or a perfectly memorized script. What actually moves people—on stage, on camera, or in a room—is embodiment. And most entrepreneurs were never taught how to access that, especially when nerves, pressure, or people-pleasing kick in.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, sits down with international keynote speaker and brand strategist Melanie Spring, known for her “approachable badass” energy and her work helping bold visionaries amplify their voices. Together, they explore:

The difference between performing and embodying your message

Interest rates are drifting lower, jobs data keeps getting revised, AI stocks are whipping around on every earnings call, and gold is suddenly back at all-time highs. If you've looked at the headlines lately and wondered, “Is the Fed behind the curve? Is AI already a bubble? Should I be buying gold… or is it too late?” — you're not alone. There's a lot of noise right now around the dollar, inflation, and what actually belongs in a long-term portfolio.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM and Chief Investment Officer of Juncture We...

Money, work, and wealth-building are changing faster than most people can process, and a lot of the old “rules” for career and business no longer apply. If you've felt the squeeze of a barbell economy, watched the online business space wobble, or wondered how AI, social platforms, and new financial tools are going to affect your long-term stability… you're not imagining it. We're in the middle of a major economic and energetic shift.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, sits down with financial futurist and Rich Future founder Kalei Correll, a former Big Four CPA and finan...

Crypto is having another volatile season — Bitcoin dropping 35%, narratives heating up online, and investors wondering whether they should “buy the dip” or stay far away.

But beneath the hype, the memes, and the overnight-millionaire stories, there's a deeper conversation to be had about what cryptocurrency actually is, what blockchain technology does, and how to navigate a landscape where speculation can look like opportunity if you don't know what you're looking at.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM, Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies, break down crypto from first pri...

So many brilliant entrepreneurs are maxed out, fully booked, and still feel like they're leaving impact (and income) on the table. You know your work changes lives, but there are only so many 1:1 calls you can take and only so many hours you can sell. Add AI into the mix — with everyone shouting that “everything is changing” — and it's easy to freeze, overthink, or never actually get your course out of your head and into the world.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and course creation expert Jasmine Jonte break down what it really takes to turn you...

What if a 5% pullback in the market wasn't a warning sign…but just the cost of long-term growth? In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM and Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies unpack recent volatility, why it feels so uncomfortable in the moment, and how to navigate it without derailing your financial plan.

What if scaling from six to seven (and even eight) figures wasn't about working harder…but about doing less with way more intention? In this episode, we unpack what actually changes as you grow — and what must stay the same — so you can build a business that doesn't chew you up on the way to your next revenue milestone.

In this conversation, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® sits down with Austin Netzley — founder & CEO of 2X and Operations.com, emotional Projector, and author of From 6 to 7 Figures and The 2-Week Vacation Test. Austin shares how to turn your busine...

Life doesn't stop being hard just because you decide to grow. There are seasons that take you out at the knees, sucker-punch your heart, and leave you wondering how you're supposed to carry on being a parent, a partner, a leader, or a business owner.

In this conversation, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Joy Alchemist & author Jan Hoath explore what it really means to choose joy anyway — not as a bypass, but as a way of honoring the full spectrum of your humanity: the grief, the mess, the doubt, the “super sucky” circumstances, and the quiet, ordinary...

What if grief isn't just the devastating losses—but the everyday interruptions that ask us to soften, feel, and be witnessed? When we practice holding grief in the small moments, we're more ready for the big ones. And when we let others in to see us, receiving support becomes radical self-love.

In this conversation, Hannah and guest Krista Powers reframe grief through Krista's Five Powers of Grief—Interruption, Flow of Feelings, Holding, Breaking, and Remembering. Krista shares her 17-month breast cancer journey, the real $60k financial reality, and how choosing to be witnessed expanded her capacity for joy...

The markets are wobbling again—stocks pulling back, layoffs stacking up, and the Fed hinting at possible rate cuts. But underneath the noise, something powerful is shifting: inflation is easing, shelter inflation is dropping, and investors are asking how to stay grounded when the data feels uncertain.

In this Investment Friday, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® breaks down the market's recent pullback, job loss trends, and shelter inflation updates—and shares how to protect your peace (and your portfolio) through smart cash reserves, long-term thinking, and a heart for giving back when the world feels shaky.<...

You don't have a motivation problem—you have an alignment problem. If the version of you at work isn't the same one at home, in the gym, and with your friends, you'll keep grinding harder without feeling better. Today's guest shows how to collapse that gap—so progress actually feels like power.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, talks with Marine Corps veteran, performance coach, and keynote speaker Mycal (“Coach Derz”) Anders—founder of Next Level Performance Consulting—whose motto is “Alignment first, progress always.”

Uncertainty is back on center stage. The Fed cut rates by 0.25%—but Powell wouldn't commit to another cut in December. Markets wobbled, leadership remains concentrated in the mega-caps, and headlines about layoffs and a potential SNAP funding gap raise real-world questions about how money flows… and how we can help.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, breaks down what the Fed actually signaled, why concentration risk matters (especially with highly appreciated stocks), and how to turn year-end generosity into smart, tax-savvy impact—fast.

We all have patterns — ways of thinking, reacting, or hiding that shape our lives, our relationships, and even our legacy. But what happens when those patterns become self-destructive? When success on the outside hides a quiet collapse on the inside? This conversation goes straight into the heart of how we can face the parts of ourselves we've tried hardest to avoid — and finally lead them toward healing.
